So I was just going by my daily routine right? Playing some video games, browsing /v/, trying to have healthy video game discussion that seems to have ceased to exist over there. Anyway that's when I see it, freaking Konata EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME she pops up as a reaction image so I said "fuck it, let's see what's so good about Lucky Star".

So off I go, I find myself a torrent recommended by a friend and start downloading, then I go to grab a snack to eat while I watch the first episode.

So it's done, I open the folder and start to watch, and this is what I get? Ten minutes. TEN FUCKING MINUTES OF KAWAII LITTLE SCHOOLGIRLS TALKING ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO EAT DESERTS!!? I don't know what the fuck I expected but it sure as shit wasn't this! I can't take my eyes away, it's like succubus, I can't fucking believe what I'm seeing. Now I'm up at episode 10 and I simply can't stop, I have to get to bed for tomorrow but their kawaii misadventures keep drawing me back in.

So thank you /a/, thank you for forcing this shit into my life, it's probably the best show I've ever watched.

Do people really need snacks this often? I find quite amusing to glance at how you, bunch of hedonist amoebas, are enjoying something of this world while you escape to another. Seems like it's never enough to please the useless burden that today is called "human"

The standard's been going downhill. It used to be somewhere between 300-500, plus half a year to a year of lurking before your first post. I make no claim to being an oldfag; all this is hearsay.

>>101259907
I used to watch it back in the day and thought it was very entertaining.
After I came back from my vacation in Japan in august of 2007, I watched the episode where Hiyori brought her friends to Otome Road in Ikebukuro, and I realized I had been to two shops in Otome Road hiding from the rain, shops where I was amazed at the amount of BL and Yaoi doujins and other parafernalia and there being lots of women there.

While a few reference are made to Haruhi, Haruhi isn't necessary to watch before LS...

>>101260826
I'd say a lot of people here used to go (or still go) on /v/ though they would never admit it.
I stopped because I kind of lost interest since my toaster can't run games very well and I have failed installing windows on it for a few times but otherwise I'd still lurk on there for the occasional half-decent thread.

>>101259907>TEN FUCKING MINUTES OF KAWAII LITTLE SCHOOLGIRLS TALKING ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO EAT DESERTS!!?
That scene literally changed my life. If it wasn't for it, I probably wouldn't be watching anime right now.
Thank you based Yamakan.

I'm on a Macbook and I think I somehow fucked the EFI partition up.
Or maybe my Windows installation DVD didn't work, I don't know.
I'm not a retard, Windows just refuses to install on my machine.

>>101260938
Back when I was suffering from shit taste and thought harems is what anime was all about, I watched it. Today I feel so awkward when my imouto is watching Lucky Star, I want to forget about my past.

>>101260976
I know the one you quoted already replied but I think he said he was trying to install it on a toaster? We all know toasters are difficult machines. Now if it's a rice cooker then it would've been a breeze. The thing installs Windows 9 the moment you unwrap the cd case.

>>101260905
There was a time I couldn't really stop.
I didn't like video games anymore, but /v/ was still a fun place because of how retarded everyone is.

Now it's actually so bad that I don't enjoy it anymore. The same fucking threads, all the time. You can even post an actual video game thread, and have people tell you to fuck off to /vg/ because it isn't a feminism or console war discussion. What a cesspool of cancer, fuck.

>>101261164
I know, I stopped going there because people no longer talked about the videogames, every single thread was about the industry or the internet celebrities or some other shit. /v/ no longer hates videogames, they hate the videogame industry because, deep down, they are consumerist whores who love arguing about their consoles and raging at feminists more than they love playing the games.

>>101261225
Anon, you have no idea the type of depression I went through for a year. Imagine your first ever anime is a cheesy harem showing you the life you could have had. My teenage hormones went apeshit during the final arc when they all leave the Hinata Inn during repairs.

>>101261298
At least I can play games, modify my OS, modify my hardware and upgrade my parts individually having to purchase a new PC.

Mac's have superior hardware performance and OS integration, but that is as far as they go. All of it means nothing if the end user is restricted and only can use hardware/software from the manufacturer.

Why do Linuxfags assume we only try Ubuntu? Matter of fact, Ubuntu is a resource hog and annoying to use. Linux Mint KDE was the best package I used but the bastard thing does not support my WiFi or GPU as the drivers don't work. I tried LXDE, XFCE, Pinguy OS, CentOS and Mint standard distros. None of them seem to fully support hardware on any of my notebooks or desktops. It's a colossal failure.

>>101261262>I have tried all 3 operating systems and Linux is by the worst and least user friendly of all
Have you tried all DE on Linux? No?
Linux Mint is probably one of the easisest DE in the world.

I read the manga briefly. But the climax for me was during anime when it was revealed Naru was not the promised girl. And when he moved in with Mutsumi to live with her, I felt like killing myself. My friend who gave me the Love Hina series found out about my condition and took away the Tenchi Muyo series from me before I could watch it. He was afraid I might really kill myself if I watched anymore harems.

>>101261600>Try explaining to a newbie how to install and configure wine.
This doesn't define the easiness of the OS.
Windows isn't easier to use because there's more programs for it.
I judge the operating system on how easy it is to navigate around the operating system and adjust different options.

>>101261618
It's just so boring. I mean, look at the first episode. They're sitting for god knows how many minutes talking about how you're supposed to eat something. Sure, you shouldn't judge a show from only its first episode, but the only time I remember thinking the show was genuinely enjoyable was when she found a laeva sword in whatever MMO she was playing. That's it, and it lasted for max a minute.

I'm sure it's enjoyable to a lot of people, but personally I just found everything they did to be so boring. In K-On I find what they're doing interesting and enjoyable to watch.

The first time I saw the opening I felt so... uncomfortable and confused. While I do agree that the first episode might not be the easiest to get into if you're not familiar with the show, Lucky Star has something unexplainable that made me marathon it and finish it in a few days.

>>101261298
You can thank moot for that, after siphoning off a majority of legit discussion by making /vr/, the quality of /v/ took a shit. After that most good games we had left like SMT just went to /vg/ leaving /v/ to discuss Mountain Blade, Witcher, and thousands of shit games and industry blunders.

>>101261416
Lucky Star was my first anime and by chance K-On was my second. Worked out pretty well. I started anime by reccomendations from pre-Tumblr girls and they ended up having really good taste given their gender.

>>101259907
The first 1 or 2 episodes of Lucky Star are pretty shit.
It gets pretty funny and enjoyable afterwards, and Konata and her interactions with her family/friends can be really great sometimes.

>>101259907>Caring what board you are from
Unless you act like a fagot I really don't see the need to pin /v/ on yourself. If you are on topic who fucking cares? All this is going to do is get the /a/nons scared of the /v/ boogie man to shitpost. Unless that's what you wanted.

>>101259907
i slept through the first episode
really, i was fucking sleeping until it was close to the ending
but due to the 3 episode rule i forced myself to watch 2 more
im glad i did, because it gets pretty good from there
